Weight gain could increase your risk of Alzheimer's disease.
Overweight people had an average of 4 percent less brain tissue than normal-weight adults; obese subjects had 8 percent less. Most depleted was the frontal lobe, the same area affected by dementia.
A high-fat diet clogs arteries, so oxygen can't reach brain cells and they die. So get moving: Aerobic exercise increase oxygen to your brain, which helps preserve tissue.
